Trade ReviewThe Aquaculture Controversy is a valuable contribution to a critical Canadian policy debate—one that is bound to inform future studies on the unfolding blue revolution and its ongoing Canadian impacts. -- Dean Bavington * Literary Review of Canada *
Young’s and Matthews’
Aquaculture Controversy in Canada deserves special attention for at least two reasons: Firstly, because it is a book vigorously written to unfold the many layers of the aquaculture debate with Canada as a major player as well as — one is tempted to overstate — a “victim” of the global industry. Secondly, the book is an excellent example of good sociology -- Matthias Gross, University of Halle, Germany * Canadian Journal of Sociology/Cahiers canadiens de sociologie, 36(1) 2011 *
This book offers intriguing insights into the debates about aquaculture and the reasons why the various parties, whether for or against, are so entrenched in their views. It should be of interest to current stakeholders in the industry as well as fisheries scientists and scholars. -- Miriam Wright, University of Windsor * International Journal of Maritime History, Vol XXIV No 1 *
